Playful, outrageous and edgy, ‘S is for Spanking’ is another pacy, modern romp from the author of ‘A Study in Shame’. Respectable PA Lucy Salisbury finds herself on a management training course that’s more like a boot camp. Everybody wants a piece of her, from the sadistic head instructor to her cruel and wanton ex-girlfriend, Juliette Fisher. Always a sucker for a strong man or a cruel, demanding woman, Lucy finds herself on the receiving end of rough sex, spanking and bondage as she tries to handle the demands of half-a-dozen lovers at once, while simultaneously trying not to sully her precious reputation.
A gripping debut psychological thriller you don’t want to miss! ‘Louise Stone is an exciting new talent to watch. S is for Stranger is full of tension and atmosphere. A hugely compelling read.’ - Amanda Jennings, author of In Her Wake There are two sides to every story. But only one is true. Sophie wished she’d paid more attention when her little daughter, Amy, caught sight of a stranger watching them. She only looked away for a second. But now Amy’s gone. No one trusts an alcoholic. Even a sober one. The police are suspicious of Sophie’s tangled story and so is her ex-husband, Paul. Especially when new information emerges that changes everything. But what if Sophie is telling the truth? What if her daughter really is missing? And what if that stranger at the fairground wasn’t really a stranger at all… Perfect for readers looking for their next addictive read after The Girl on the Train and Behind Closed Doors.

SIX STARRED REVIEWS!A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection!From award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Ibi Zoboi comes her groundbreaking contemporary fantasy debut—a novel in verse based on Caribbean folklore—about the power of inherited magic and the price we must pay to live the life we yearn for.“Our new home with itsthick walls and locked doorswants me to stay trapped in my skin—but I am fury and flame.”Fifteen-year-old Marisol is the daughter of a soucouyant. Every new moon, she sheds her skin like the many women before her, shifting into a fireball witch who must fly into the night and slowly sip from the lives of others to sustain her own. But Brooklyn is no place for fireball witches with all its bright lights, shut windows, and bolt-locked doors.… While Marisol hoped they would leave their old traditions behind when they emigrated from the islands, she knows this will never happen while she remains ensnared by the one person who keeps her chained to her magical past—her mother.Seventeen-year-old Genevieve is the daughter of a college professor and a newly minted older half sister of twins. Her worsening skin condition and the babies’ constant wailing keep her up at night, when she stares at the dark sky with a deep longing to inhale it all. She hopes to quench the hunger that gnaws at her, one that seems to reach for some memory of her estranged mother. When a new nanny arrives to help with the twins, a family secret connecting her to Marisol is revealed, and Gen begins to find answers to questions she hasn’t even thought to ask.But the girls soon discover that the very skin keeping their flames locked beneath the surface may be more explosive to the relationships around them than any ancient magic.
